Noam Brusilovsky: Erich Mühsam at Sophiensæle – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin

Noam Brusilovsky:
Erich Mühsam at Sophiensæle

3_virchowsaal ca 1909

In the 1920s, Jewish queer anarchist Erich Mühsam spoke at several events at Sophiensæle. In conversation with a representative of the Gustav Landauer Initiative artist Noam Brusilovsky reflects on those appearances and his significance for anarchist and socialist movements. Building on this, Brusilovsky devotes a second artistic part of the evening to the question of how we can revisit Mühsam’s visions and revolutionary ideas today and what role they can play in current social discourses.
